U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has always had a following, but now her appeal has branched out. She has become a pop culture icon, the ABA Journal reports. "You can be an upper middle-class, a suburban stay-at-home mom, an urban graduate student who identifies as genderqueer / nonbinary or a rural America retiree who voted for Donald Trump and still admire Ginsburg, according to marketing experts, who say that her appeal with various groups is unique. And the attention the Me Too movement has brought to sexual harassment and rape has made many more people interested in speaking about gender discrimination publicly — issues Ginsburg has been addressing and fighting for decades."

A closely divided U.S. Senate today advanced Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination to a final floor vote that could occur as soon as Saturday.

The American Bar Association today announced it is reopening the evaluation of Kavanaugh due to "new information of a material nature regarding temperament." The review is not expected to be completed before the final vote. Kavanaugh supporters have touted the ABA's previous rating of "well qualified."
